Elite Trader, version 1.4
Esteemed Commander,
The Galactic Guild of Elite Traders (G.E.T.) has studiously considered your application and is pleased to inform you of your admittance to our Order. We maintain Guild Houses in all systems of the Eight Charts, and you can be assured of a hearty welcome wherever your voyages now take you.
May the GETTING exceed the Taking! - Refrain from combat and assume our gentle mantle, and reward will be equally forthcoming.
Yours most Truly,
Grand Master Exoloön of Inera.
Brother GETter,
The storied intergalactic Elite ranking is attainable for ship Captains of every disposition, peaceful or warlike. Eschew the space-lane on Station approach and watch your Grade soar as you dock with our Markets, trade skillfully, and doggedly ply the celestial Milk Run.
Note well that the ascending Grades of G.E.T. do not countenance the recondite practices of many of today's free traders. We are traditionalists. Contracts are frowned upon, as is opportunistic scooping and the sale of mined minerals and the dealing in precious stones and metals. Our Assessors will not credit you for such sales. We'll meet you on the Market floor or nowhere else. As one of our crasser pooker-playing Brothers once coined: if it ain't paid, the score's not made. We're about buying and selling.
You may note with an ironic smile that G.E.T. cares little whether Galcop deems your bought goods illegal... We have little truck with that legislative body - but our situation is one of mutual tolerance. With us, your record is always clean, and all trades legitimate in our eyes.
As it forever has been, Market Observer and Market Inquirer by Brother Spara, adjuncts to your calling, are almost de rigueur. Do not exit a space-dock without them!
Trade well! One day we'll meet for a toast in the Halls of Inera with the Exalted.
Your friend and mentor,
Dor Reval of Xexedi, Supreme, Serendipitous & Serene Space Grocer.
To lay this out in plain Common Galspeak... The accomplished and non-belligerent G.E.T. Brother will witness various astrogational marvels in respect to his, her, or its spacecraft, to wit:
A continual upward evolution in
Speed
Shield strength
Shield recharge rate
Energy levels
In addition to
A ship forever in good repair
Automatic, free refuelling
No mass-lock, except at Main Station (Oolite >1.85)
A permanently 'clean' Galcop record
A clone of their ship, gratis, in every spaceyard, should they wish to reset their augmented speed, energy, and shield strength to nominal. (Oolite >1.89)
Unless the Brother strays - in which case none of the above will apply.
PS. Gratitude is due to spara, dybal, and another_commander for their encouragement, advice, and - above all - the education of a Javascript neophyte.
NEW IN VERSION 1.1
Immersive G.E.T. messages at every stage of the voyage.
Successful trading brings useful rewards.
NEW IN VERSION 1.2
Minor cosmetic enhancements.
On Arrival Screen, speed-reward status message is not shown if another OXP resets the ship's maxSpeed (Masslock Compensator is a known culprit).
NEW IN VERSION 1.3
Cosmetic enhancements (contextual comms messages).
Destroying other ships--as opposed to damaging them to aid escape--brings System G.E.T. disapprobation and a bout of penance (no Elite score or rewards).
NEW IN VERSION 1.4
Feature update (see above)
